      Title: BUTTERMILK SCONES
 Categories: Breads
      Yield: 18 Servings
 
      3 c  Flour
    1/3 c  Sugar
  2 1/2 ts Baking powder
    1/2 ts Baking soda
    3/4 ts Salt
     12 tb Butter
      1 c  Buttermilk
    3/4 c  Currants
      1 ts Grated orange rind
           -(orange part, or zest only)

MMMMM---------------------------GLAZE--------------------------------
      1 tb Heavy cream
    1/4 ts Cinnamon
      2 tb Sugar
 
  PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 425F. Use an ungreased baking sheet. Combine the
  flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl.
  Stir well with a fork to mix and aerate. Add the butter and cut into
  the flour mixture, using a pastry blender or two knives, or work in,
  using your fingertips, until the mixture looks like fresh bread
  crumbs. Add the buttermilk, currants and orange rind. Mix only until
  the dry ingredients are moistened. Gather the dough into a ball and
  press so it holds together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured
  surface. Knead lightly 12 times. Pat the dough into a circle 1/2-inch
  thick.
  
  TO MAKE THE GLAZE: In a small bowl combine the cream, cinnamon and
  sugar; stir to blend. Brush the dough with the glaze. Cut the dough
  into 18 pie-shaped pieces. Place the scones 1 inch apart on the
  baking sheet. Bake for about 12 minutes or until the tops are
  browned. Serve hot.
